“Though most Pentecostals go to church meetings several times at week, and singing is a veryimportant part of ritual life, it is a dimension that has been given little or no attention in moststudies of Latin American Pentecostalism. Singing is crucial ritual activity during whichsensations of a powerful divine presence can be constituted. In the previous section I argued thatspontaneous communitas with embodied experiences of powerful immediacy can occur duringsinging in Pentecostal churches. Singing is another strategy of ritualisation, through which ritualagents with embodied dispositions for experiencing and engaging with divine power are produced.The contents of song may serve as a cultural objectifications of certain sensations as a divinepresence during church meetings, and songs are important ways of articulating and repeatingfundamental Pentecostal and statements about God, Jesus, the ‘world’ and not least about theposition and status of Pentecostals. Hence both discursive and experiential truths are constituted,appropriated and internalized in singing. The impact of such truths pervades into every day life assinging is an activity that easily transcends the boundaries of strictly ritual contexts”.
